SendGrid Setup Guide

Follow our setup guide to connect SendGrid to Fivetran.

Prerequisites

To connect SendGrid to Fivetran, you need a SendGrid account.

IMPORTANT: Only use an HTTPS URL with TLS version 1.2 or above.

Log in to your SendGrid account.
Go to Settings -> API Keys.
Click Create API Key.
Give a descriptive name to the Fivetran API key and select Restricted Access.
In the Access Details section, select the following permissions for the Fivetran API key. Fivetran requires these permissions to access your data.
NOTE: collapsing categories, for example, 'Mail Settings' will reset the category settings. Do not collapse categories.
IMPORTANT: To retrieve data from legacy marketing campaigns, select the Marketing Campaigns permission. If you are using a legacy account and want to retrieve data from both old and new marketing campaigns, select both the Marketing Campaigns and Marketing permissions.
Click Create & View.
Make a note of the API key because you will not be able to see it again. You will need it to fill in your connection setup form.

Go to Settings -> Tracking.
Enable Click Tracking, Open Tracking, and Subscription Tracking to receive Events.

In the connection setup form, enter your chosen destination schema name.
Enter the API key you created in Step 1.
Click Save & Test. Fivetran will take it from here and sync your SendGrid data.
